"I don't want to get too excited too early, but I really like the presence that he brings," Roethlisberger said. Earning Big Ben's trust is a major key in Pittsburgh, and Hunter seems to be doing that a week into practices. With Martavis Bryant (suspension) and Sammie Coates (knee) not practicing, Hunter is running with the ones and making the most of it. He could take Coates' job. Aug 2 - 11:40 AM

Steelers WR Justin Hunter has been making the most of his time with the starters, catching a few big throws from Ben Roethlisberger.

Hunter connected with Roethlisberger on a back shoulder play in individual work and for a touchdown in 7-on-7 goal line work. While this sounds like it could be the start of an intriguing duo, most of Hunter's work with the first team is coming due to Sammie Coates being sidelined and Martavis Bryant still on suspension.

The No. 34 overall pick in 2013, Hunter has never put his intriguing blend of size (6'4/203) and speed (4.44) together, though he has shown red-zone and deep-ball skills with 12 touchdowns and a career 16.7 YPR average. Landing with Ben Roethlisberger and OC Todd Haley is as good of a chance Hunter will have to get his career on track. He'll serve as insurance should the Steelers not get back Martavis Bryant back from suspension. Mar 15 - 11:06 AM

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Martavis Bryant will be a full participant in Sunday's practice.

"We're going to put our foot on the gas and proceed," Tomlin said. "He's physically ready." It is a great sign Bryant is ready for a full practice after being forced to sit out the early part of camp, and it sounds like he could see some action in the second preseason game. Already priced optimistically in the fourth round, Bryant's ADP could soar if he explodes in the preseason.
